Login.OnAuthenticate Method

Raises the Authenticate event to authenticate the user.

Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)

'Declaration
Protected Overridable Sub OnAuthenticate ( _
	e As AuthenticateEventArgs _
)
'Usage
Dim e As AuthenticateEventArgs

Me.OnAuthenticate(e)
protected void OnAuthenticate (
	AuthenticateEventArgs e
)
protected function OnAuthenticate (
	e : AuthenticateEventArgs
)
Not applicable.

Parameters

e

An AuthenticateEventArgs that contains the event data.

The OnAuthenticate method raises the Authenticate event. Use the Authenticate event to implement a custom authentication scheme.

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Raising an Event.

The OnAuthenticate method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Notes to Inheritors: When overriding OnAuthenticate in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnAuthenticate method so that registered delegates receive the event.

The following code example uses the Authenticate event to call site-specific custom authentication code.
